Question 1

Which Nightwing suit is considered the "real" or classic one?

The 1996 Chuck Dixon and Scott McDaniel design all-black with a stylized blue bird across the chest and arms is the version most fans and adaptations default to.

Question 2

Why did Nightwing's costume turn red in the New 52?

Question 3

Is Brenton Thwaites playing Nightwing in the new DCU?
